Steve Cochran

Cumulus Media’s WLS 890 AM today announced a proven winner in Chicago radio will bring his talent and deep Chicago roots to “The Steve Cochran Show,” a new morning talk show that will air weekdays from 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. beginning June 15, 2022.

“I'm delighted to welcome Steve to our team, where I know he will bring his wisdom, wit, and political prowess to morning drive,” said Stephanie Tichenor, Program Director WLS-AM 890. “Our listeners need a place to feel safe to express their opinions while having a destination for entertainment, news, and, of course, conservative conversation. Steve will provide that for our Chicagoland audience. I'm looking forward to growing 890 with Steve Cochran in the mornings.”

“Like thousands of others, I did my homework listening to The Big 89 WLS when I was a kid,” added Cochran. “It's an honor to say those call letters, and I can't wait to get started.”

Steve Cochran made Chicago his home after hosting hit radio shows in Minneapolis, L.A., and New York City. He did his time on TV and in films but always found his way home to radio. After all these years, he's never been busier, with writing, standup comedy, and podcasts including Live From My Office and The Deep 6 available wherever you get your podcasts. At this crucial time, he wants to give Chicago the talk show it needs and deserves every morning on The BIG 89 WLS.
